You Buried My Daughter, I Burned Down Your EmpireChapter 1

I handled my daughter’s funeral arrangements myself.

From the moment the hospital released her body to the final signature at the crematorium, I did everything alone. The staff spoke to me in hushed voices, their eyes heavy with pity. Some of them had seen Sofia when she was still breathing, when she was still clutching that medicine meant for another woman. They avoided saying too much, but their silence carried more compassion than my husband ever had.

For two full days, Don Vincent Volkov never called.

Not once.

Ten years of marriage collapsed into those forty-eight hours of absence.

I neither ate nor drank. Grief hollowed me out until even breathing felt unnecessary. I printed the divorce agreement myself, placed it neatly on the coffee table in the mansion bearing the Volkov crest, and waited for him to return from wherever he had chosen to be.

When he finally walked in, he did not ask about his daughter.

Instead, he said coolly, “Where’s the medicine I told you to make Sofia deliver? Did she send it to the grave with her? Because of her delay, Roxanne was hospitalized for two days.”

For a moment, I almost laughed.
